The staircase design is largely determined by the spatial program and building envelope. You only have free choice with a plot of land - but nowadays most home builders at best get building plots. Freelance architects do have a very significant advantage insofar as the most important task of architects is to "wash the client’s brain," i.e. to dispel Pinterest fantasies that cannot be implemented without serious damage to budget, development plan, or similar constraints.

I agree with you, and it would probably also be the most appropriate solution, because a good architect pays for himself through thoughtful planning (architect quote). Ultimately, TE should recognize that he needs to start right at the beginning of the planning process here, and the question of a possible staircase or the location of the guest bathroom was still meant to be very far off.

No, fact. But it's pointless to discuss here: the dice for general contractor inclusive planning are probably cast, and that is not the problem here. Rather, the issue lies in "improving" instead of discarding a design that was not properly distilled professionally.

Yes, exactly. You have to mark and select each comment separately. I don’t know how much you have already browsed “before” in this forum, but it is often the client himself to blame for his share, by pre-sketched what he wants to have to the architect. (Aren’t you one of those too? Well, I was one, but have prior knowledge. That’s also how the questionnaire from me came about.) And yes, the architects of a general contractor/trade contractor are not perfect, but you should first let them do their work and then question everything, why and how. If you then notice that at some point nothing more comes, a forum can accomplish a lot together.... However, I know that not only I no longer enthusiastically squeeze every bit of information out of an original poster, but also Kerstin or Ex-Katja have meanwhile become resistant to that - then there are no more drawings from us... I myself only take out my old-school laptop with architect software when you can read the despair in blood red between the lines - not to mention the draft of the trade contractor. But many do not want our help either: if 1/3 of the questionnaire is missing or deliberately deleted, I rather watch RTL 2 than question everything and start a lengthy planning. That is best for both. Possibly I will make a hand sketch. But that is again not taken seriously by the reader/original poster. Only how it is presented counts, not the idea.

Thank you, I understand you.
Well... both of us built a long time ago, then sold and bought and changed again etc., and now we are building again, rather out of "necessity," because a legal issue has arisen in the currently self-designed and stylish residence, on which I don't want to be dependent in old age.
An old friend from the profession, whose perspective has been good for us in all projects, occasionally takes a look at our (Senóra) designs. In addition, we do this more out of joy than simple necessity. When it is finished, I could start again immediately—
The general contractor is implementing this well so far, and I like his objections or ideas and they make sense; he apparently enjoys his job and has understood the general direction we want. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be contract partners.
From my own experience, I know of course that one is always guided by all kinds of mostly unnecessary influences. With my first house, I could have easily saved 100,000 DM on pointless nonsense. For that, I should have hired a proper architect.
Nevertheless, it was a decent house for the time, but it would have been just that without all that stuff too.
A few houses/apartments/financial fluctuations later, I am not so susceptible anymore, although that could also be an illusion. Today I read a lot about KNX, controlled residential ventilation, KfW and the like—Spanish villages—and inform myself about it. But I know my life and what I need and what I do not.
When I read the original poster here, I remember my first building phase; maybe everyone has to go through this for themselves. Back then there was no internet, and in hindsight, that was no disadvantage. When I drive through new housing developments today, I don’t really see much innovation but rather more prefabricated gimmickry.
Your hand sketch thing probably has something to do with age—(so over 25), after that, the flowers around the report counted more than its factual content.
Just yesterday, we received another beer coaster sketch as an idea, and based on that, we are crafting our own thing.
Just like others play tennis or do Thai boxing, we like to do this; a nice hobby.
Thank you for your work here!
By the way, we completely changed our own floor plan (see post) to now largely revert it again and still adapt it so that the tips from the forum suitable for us can be appropriately reflected in it.
Your note "You will always think of me" has also found its place in this, although in a slightly different way, so as not to always have to think of you. The threat worked, then.
